what a sad new to hear....sob sob...


on 19th sept, Ed Zander, CEO of mot*rol* announced our 4th quater financial result for the year2006... it did not look good...the sales did not met the expectation or numbers...and this does not look good to the shareholders...

and then came the news, just after the financial result, that the company needs to some actions to improve the health of the company...here's the excerpt from our CEO's mail, which i like to highlight:


Therefore, we must take some actions to improve the health of our company. These include:

• Reducing our global workforce (including contractors) by about 3,500. This is by far the toughest part of my message and something that the senior leadership team and I had hoped we would never have to do. But our workforce makes up the biggest part of our cost structure, and we need to take action. The reductions will be spread across the company. We will go after operational efficiencies and improving speed and execution within the company by focusing on increasing spans of control and reducing layers of management. In addition, we will look for additional synergies from the internal reorganization of the past several years and from the numerous acquisitions that have taken place. We hope to complete this reduction in force during the first half of 2007. Your management and HR will have more details on this in the days and weeks ahead.

Bila nengok part ni, memang sedih la...tapi we're still not sure whether our site here in cyber is affected or not by this excercise...and we are still hoping that our site will still be in mot*rol*'s map....

And late last night, waktu malaysia, our counterparts in Cork, Ireland had a breaking news. They had been called for a townhall. They have been informed that Cork's site will be closed down! Ya allah, biar betul! A lot of our managers work in Cork. Apart from that, all of our machines are there. Ntahla, memang doa2 cyberjaya site will still be here...Amin!
